Bhubaneswar: Chief minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday inaugurated an interactive and dynamic website of SCB Medical College & Hospital in Cuttack and the portal of SCB Alumni Association (SCBIANS).
Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said the SCB Medical College is a shining example of medical care for the poor and the needy. “It is one of the oldest medical institutions in the country, even older than many medical institutions in the world, with a glorious history of serving humanity for over 76 years. During the current COVID-19 crisis, it has helped build institutional capacity for the entire State,” he said.
Stating that the medical college has served millions over the last 76 years and an astounding 17 million in the last decade, Naveen said every day, more than 20 thousand people come here for their medical needs.
“My government has initiated the process of transformation under 5T initiative to make SCB a world class institute that will attract everyone to come back and work. I am glad that the leadership of this institution has come forward to build a stronger bond with thousands of alumni members who have branched out globally to spread its message of service,” he added.
He further said in today’s digital world, the state-of-the-art website will significantly enhance the stature and the service delivery capability of our own “Bada Medical”.
